Call for round the year submissions for Rootconf in 2020

Prometheus, now a graduated CNCF project, is the de facto leader in the monitoring and metrics space being used by 1000s of companies in the world. With the 2.0 launch nearly a year behind us, we are now focused on making Prometheus boring. i.e, more stable, more usable and even MOAR user friendly!

This talk will cover the new developments and the future roadmap of the project which includes among other things better remote integrations, backfilling API, security improvements and OpenMetrics.

Outline

We start with an introduction of Prometheus and it’s history. We then cover the strides we made in the recent time and how we solved several long standing problems that were hurting adoption like backfilling, data backup and long-term storage.

We then move on to the exciting things planned for the future which would cement Promethues’s place as the leader in monitoring.
